XMLHttpRequest.send() doesn't return if server is dead #1

Closed jeffpar closed 6 years ago

jeffpar commented 10 years ago

In Computer.verifyUserID(), an API request is performed with a call to web.loadResource(), which performs the aforementioned send(). If I deliberately kill the server while the client app is still running and then try to call verifyUserID() -- by clicking on the "Save" button on a resumable machine -- it silently fails.

How do I catch/detect this problem and report a sensible error?

Hey @jeffpar, I was wondering if this was already solved (maybe with this approach) and if not, would this be the line you're pointing when you opened this issue back in Sep '14?

I'll have to get back to you on this next week when I return home and have access to a real computer. Thanks.

Those server APIs are no longer used, so I'm considering this a non-issue now.
